A sample letter:July 12, 2012

Dear Secretary Vilsack,We are appalled to learn that gas chamber euthanasia is still a viable method of putting animals to sleep in some states. Gas chambers have been largely ruled out as inhumane for humans who are to be put to death, yet it remains permissible for animals. In fact, there have been reports from animal shelters who claim that, upon release of the deadly gases, animals become extremely unnerved, fight with each other, gasp for breath, and cry out in pain.At least twelve states now outlaw this barbaric euthanasia method, but that means that within the majority of the United States, it's still legal. With the existence of a perfectly viable alternative (lethal injection), it's a wonder why this process is still allowed at all.Please lend your influence and expertise to see that gas chamber euthanasia is done away with once and for all.As you know, the mission of American Humane Association is to ensure the welfare, wellness and well-being of our nation’s children and animals, and to unleash the full potential of the bond between humans and animals to the mutual benefit of both. The mission of Animal Aid USA is to provide the education, awareness and resources to empower children to make change in their world for shelter animals. Together, our historic programs are founded in solid, evidence-based science proving that compassion is the solution to many of our community problems. Help us bring compassion and humane treatment to our country’s animal shelters by eliminating the use of gas chambers. Others are joining Animal Aid USA and the American Humane Association in this endeavor, indicating their support of this petition to eliminate the use of gas chamber euthanasia.

Sincerely,
